WOMEN WHO READ
email
from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
One
morning a husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a
nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat
out.
She
motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along
comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says,
" Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading
a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're
in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm
sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes,
but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.
I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"For
reading a book?" she replies.
"You're
in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"I'm
sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes,
but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.
I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If
you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,"says the woman.
"But
I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's
true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any
moment."
"Have
a nice day ma'am," and he left.
MORAL:
Never
argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
Send
this to four women who are thinkers. If you receive this, you know you're
intelligent
Sure
God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the
final masterpiece.

Signhore by the Gypsies.
Signore –
Senhor in Portuguese meant
Mister, sir; gentleman, man; master,
lord
you, pronoun which replaces the name
of the person or persons being addressed.
In Sinhalese this word was used extensively to address a
respected person.
Later it was incorporated in surnames as Singho
Thus we have – Punchi Singho, Baby Singho, Davith Singho
etc.
The popular song by the Gypsies parodies on this word and
sings the lamentations of a politician, who lost at a Parliamentery Election.
